Description
About The Book: Travels Amongst the Todas (1868) by William Edgar Marshall is an ethnographic study of the Toda people, a tribe from the Nilgiri Hills in South India. The book examines their history, customs, religion, and social practices, including topics like infanticide, polyandry, and language. Marshall explores the Todas’ rituals, social structure, and interactions with neighboring communities, while also providing an outline of their grammar. This pioneering work remains an important contribution to the study of indigenous cultures in colonial India.
